When NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope snapped a picture of an elliptical galaxy, it caught something else in the frame: A bright, red arc of light wrapped around it. That glowing curve isn't the ...

Here we see light from a distant galaxy following the curve of spacetime created by the elliptical galaxy's mass.

Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical, irregular and peculiar.

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

Scientists, with the help of NASA's Perseverance Mars rover, found a strange object on the Red Planet. The object looks like a cluster of hundreds of spider eggs. In a statement, the US-based space ...

The formation of elliptical galaxies has long been difficult to explain with cosmological models describing the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to now.

Largest Elliptical Galaxies Might Have Formed In Incredible Starburst Events Some galaxies are born spherical, others become it.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of NGC 4694, a galaxy that possesses unusual properties that complicate its classification.

The Milky Way galaxy may collide with the Andromeda galaxy in billions of years, creating an even bigger galaxy. Experts explain what will happen to Earth.

Instead, elliptical galaxies are generally made up of much older stars than spiral galaxies, having largely stopped forming stars.

From this star, we’re sliding 8.2° southeast to NGC 185, a 9th-magnitude dwarf elliptical galaxy that will look like a small, oval-shaped fuzz in a telescope.
